how to find the first space on the left of a text string, for example:I have this string : FUJIFILM XM-1 16-50mm BLACK and I want to find the space between FJUJIFILE and XM and then get all the text from XM onwards.I have this expression that gets me so far but then I'm stuck:
Code:
Model: Left([strDescription],InStr(1,[strDescription]," ")-1)
This expresssion gets me FUJIFILM, which isn't want I want.
Hi
is it possible to combine text in a table when some have a space between them eg 123 456 789B would like it on the table as 123456789B without any space. I was not sure what command to use in a query to get this type of and use it for an update query if possible.
Can someone help
Many thanks
Hello,
I have a text field for filling in details of a job description. I only need a brief suummary, but unfortunately I require more than the standard 255 characters.
Is there any way of doings this? I woudl like to be able to add the information to one box in my form as I am cutting and pasting the text from MS Word documents.

In my Dbase, I have a table with a text field. Field name is Country
There are over 5000 records in the table and many of these in the Country field start with a space. I would like to get rid of this space as to ensure that all text starts with a character, rather than a space.
How can I achieve this.
How can I replace a '0' to a blank space and '1' to 'X' in 'Text Box' in a report ? The 'Data Type' is 'Yes/No' in the table.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI sometimes get a last name with two names not connected by a dash (i.e. Smith-Jones), instead it is entered as "Smith Jones". When I get it from Excel into Access is there a way to replace the space with an underscore in Access? I know I can do it in Excel, but I need that Excel file the way it is for other purposes.

You know how you get the form header/detail/footer sections on a form. Well, how can you make text appear down the side (ie so that it overlaps all of the header/detail/footer sections).
Take a look at my drawing, it will explain it better...
I want to return the characters to the right of the space but I'm getting back rubbish.
This is the type of data in the field AccountName
Z-Yachting Barcos y Apartamentos S.L 031
Zusi Ltd ST5
Leaders BR3
And this is the result I want
031
ST5
BR3
What I'm getting is:
os S.L 031
ST5
ers BR3
This is my current formula.
Right([AccountName],InStr(1,[AccountName]," ")-1)
Any way to extract a postcode when there are double space on some and not others.
SA1 1AB (i need SA1 1AB)
HU1 2AB (i need HU1 2AB)
HU17 0BG (ok)
For some reason the postcode field returns 2 spaces when the postcode length is only 6 digits and 3 spaces when the postcode length is only 5 digits. Im assuming that the postcode field needs to be 8 characters in length (including a space).
All I want to to remove the addition spaces and return a normal looking postcode!
I currently have two tables each containing information that I need to complete a query, however the results of suming this information is incorrect.
Below is the structure of the table, one contains more fileds than the other however the joins are on the Date and the Name fields. I have added a few dummy results to show the format
Table 1
"Date" "Name" "Times Logged In"
10/01/2013 Chris 1
11/01/2013 James 3
Table 2
"Date" "Region" "Manager Name" "Name" "Times Logged Out"
10/01/2013 Scotland Cindy Chris 1
11/01/2013 Wales Robert James 2
Query Fields
"Data" "Region" "Name" "SUM Times Logged In" "SUM Times Logged Out"
I can see what the issue is, if someone hasnt logged out there would be no entry in the table so the result query would show "Times Logged In" as X and a blank value at "Times Logged Out." However if there is a value at "Times Logged Out", "Times Logged In" is displayed again and causes the SUM calculations to be incorrect.
how do I overcome this issue though? I can do two spereate queries on the tables to produce results for Times Logged In and Times Logged Out but cant seem to create one query to display both these results in one table.
What I want is IF the date in Table 2 = Date in Table 1 AND IF Name in Table 2 = Name in Table 1 THEN take the value from Logged In and place that in a column and the value from Logged Out and place that in a column.
I'm having problems doing a left join with 3 fields. I know I don't need the 3 fields for this example to align the data but, I deal with much more than this and need this functionality.
The query object I'm looking into is named 'left join' and the sql is as follows:
SELECT Act_Base.CustID, Act_Base.Chipset_ID, Act_Base.Product, Act_Base.Qtr, Act_Base.Qty AS Shipments, SE_Base.Qty AS SE
FROM Act_Base LEFT JOIN SE_Base ON (Act_Base.Product = SE_Base.Product) AND (Act_Base.Qtr = SE_Base.Qtr) AND (Act_Base.CustID = SE_Base.CustID);
I'm expecting to see 150 units in the SE.Qty field.

I need to do a report that takes data from many different tables (like 10).
To do this I have a big query with many LEFT JOIN to link all the tables together. I have made this query last year and it worked well and efficiently until now.
But I have to add something there, and the problem comes with it :
One of the tables is a currency exchange rate table, with the exchange rate of USD to 50 different other currencies and for each day since Jan 1st 2011.
But in this table there are some dates when a currency does not have an exchange rate (example : it was a holiday in that country, so there is no official exchange rate with this currency on that day).
However, I need to have rates even if they are not present in the table.
I need to get the nearest rate, for example if the rate of EUR on 31st December is not available, I can take the one of the 30th, or 29th or January 1st...
Ideally I would like to do the following :
Add a new LEFT JOIN to my already big query that would look like :
LEFT JOIN CurrencyExchangeRate ON ABS(RateDate - Instrument.Date) < 3
But to take only the closest rate.
I tried with a subquery :
LEFT JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM CurrencyExchangeRate WHERE ForeignCurrency = Instrument.Currency1 AND ABS(RateDate - Instrument.Date) < 3) AS MRate ON MRate.ForeignCurrency = Instrument.Currency1)
But the subquery does not accept Instrument.Currency1 because it is not part of the table CurrencyExchangeRate
I have a solution that should work, it is to search for this rate in a subquery in the select clause instead of doing a left join. But the tables are quite big (hundreds of thousands of entries) and my work machine is not really 'fast' so it would take hours and hours (when I tried I stopped after 3 hours).
I know there is the solution to make a macro to "fill" the missing rates with the rate of the previous day... But I would prefer not to go to this extent.
I have to query a record with 2 of the same static characters. "-".I can get the left function with the first " but I can't get the rest up to the second "-"
Example: B-4352B-PXP02W01-10
TagNo: Left([EventInstanceID],InStr([EventInstanceID],"-")) Brings me the first char plus "-" The next section is needed also but the remainder is not.
Needed: B-4352B
Is there a Mid Function that I could add to go to the second chaacter instead of stopping at the first one?
I have a manual date format that looks something like:
02/16/2015 09:06:15 AM PST
I would like to truncate the text so that just the date is showing. For all that I have found, I can remove a string from the beginning? any tips on removing a string from the end?
I have a table with Part No. and their correlating descriptions. I have a second table with a Product Number and its assosciated Part No. I want to view all of my Part No. with descriptions and IF there is a match to the Part No on the second table, I want to see the associated Product Number. Below is the layout and SQL on my test tables.
Test_Items1 (My Table)
Part No = 1317667223606 Desc1 = ABC123
Part No = 1317667223614 Desc1 = ABC456
Test_Products1 (Customer Data)
Product Number = 14_01 Referenced Item = 1317667223606 1317667223735 1317667224517 1317667225406
SQL (Which isn't working for me)
SELECT Test_Items1.[Part No], Test_Items1.[Item SX Descrip1], Test_Products1.[Product Number]
FROM Test_Items1 LEFT JOIN Test_Products1 ON Test_Items1.[Part No] LIKE "*" & Test_Products1.[Referenced Item] & "*";
The Desired Results from my above scenario would be this
Part No = 1317667223606 Desc1 = ABC123 Product Number = 14_01
Part No = 1317667223614 Desc1 = ABC456 Product Number = Null/Blank
The Part No from Test_Items1 may not always be the first string from the Test_Products1.Referenced Item. It may appear anywhere withing that group of Part Nos. The customer has them separated by spaces.
Working with two tables - tbl_A_OrdData & tbl_B_ShipData tbl_A have all the orders placed, but tbl_B only have the orders that got shipped. I'm trying to create a query that will show me all orders that got placed for a particular criteria and if the order find a match in tbl_B to give me the ship date too. A left joint query get me the data I need. But my dates are in YYYYMMDD number format so in the query I am putting the DateValue function. And that error out as "data type mismatch" because it cannot find the shipdate for certain records. I tried this but didnt work. ShipDt: IIf (IsNull ([PSHPDT]), "", DateValue(Mid([PSHPDT],5,2) & "/" & Right([PSHPDT],2) & "/" & Left([PSHPDT],4)))

Question: Can I create a Join from Table2 Field with the Left(Field,6) from Table1
I was thinking something like this. (but then I can't enter design mode)
Query1 - Test
Code:
SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION
FROM Table2 INNER JOIN Table1 ON Table2.ORDDETTYPE = Left(Table1.ORDERDET,6)
GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;
I presume the only way to do this is first query Table1 (and call Query2) and return the first 6 characters and the create another query (Query3 in this case) using Query2 field joined with Table2 field.
Query2
Code:
SELECT Left([ORDERDET],6) AS NEWORDDET
FROM Table1;
Query3
Code:
SELECT Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION
FROM Query2 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Query2.[NEWORDDET] = Table2.ORDDETTYPE
GROUP BY Table2.ORDDETTYPE, Table2.DESCRIPTION;
I managed to produce a working Query with AllenBrowne's ConcatRelated function.What i'm unable to do is a new query with left join on the result of the query using the ConcatRelated function.I get error 3075: syntax error (missing operator) in query expression (free translation - MS ACCESS not English version)
If I do the normal join then it works fine, but I only get rows for which there are related concatenated values. But I do also need those rows where there are no concatenated values' fields.
In my table I have a numerical field for case numbers. Our case numbers are in the format of YYMM000000 (YY = 2 digit year, MM = 2 digit month, remaining 0's are consecutive case numbers). In order to properly list the case numbers in descending order, I have
caseyr: Left([CaseNo],2) (which pulls the first 2 digits being the year)
officeno: Right([CaseNo],3) (which pulls the last 3 for our part of the case number)
This was working fantastic until I had to enter cases from 2009, ex: 0911000587
I have set the format for the CaseNo field to 000000000 everywhere it is. It displays the 09 cases perfectly, retaining the zero, however, my left function ignores it. In the case number of 0911000587, it pulls 91 as the first 2 digits. So, in the form that I list my cases in order, the 2009 cases are showing up first (because they're pulling as 91 instead of 09).
Is there anything I can do to force it to NOT ignore the leading zero?
Hi
I have set up a form to run a query with the criteria linked to the options/drop down menus on the form. I am able to search for criteria set out in the combo boxes. However, what i would like to ensure is that if the drop down boxes are left blank the results will be to show 'all' results for that field.
help is greatly appreciated!
thanks in Advance!

I have several thousands of lines of data which I wish to manipulate programmatically, if at all possible. I think that all of the possible permutations are summed-up by the following examples :
123 A text string
2-8 Another text string
A-C Another text string here
3-20 And some more text
3A-126B More text
Some text without any numbers or letters at the left
What I need to do is :
Move the alphanumeric data at the left to the right. So the data would end up looking like this :
A text string 123
Another text string 2-8
Another text string here A-C
And some more text 3-20
More text 3A-126B
Some text without any numbers or letters at the left
I suppose it hinges on identifying where the first space in from the left appears, cutting the string at that point, and
Is this possible, programmatically ?
I have a simple nested query that is not working as expected. My inner query returns 102 records but when I run with outer query I only get 96 records. Below is my query, I don't really want to pull the same fields from both tables but I was doing to test. The values that are missing are those that don't exist with the monthenddate 8/31/2014 - a left join should fix that but doesn't seem to be working ..
Code:
Select distinct a.entity, a.gl_account,a.profit_center,[Open Items_1].profit_center,[Open Items_1].gl_account,[Open Items_1].entity
from(
SELECT DISTINCT [Open Items].entity, [Open Items].gl_account, [Open Items].profit_center
FROM [Open Items]
)a
left outer JOIN [Open Items] AS [Open Items_1] ON
(a.profit_center = [Open Items_1].profit_center) AND (a.gl_account = [Open Items_1].gl_account) AND (a.entity = [Open Items_1].entity)
Where ([Open Items_1].MonthEndDate=#8/31/2014#)
I have two queries. The unique key in both queries is GUID for katalogposition.
One is showing me records which has an product end date (Produkt slut dato) between today and end date of next month. This query works fine and is called q_termination.
The second one shows me unmatched records in the first query (q_termination). The query works fine and is called yq_NonTermination.
The goal is now to show me records from the first query "q_termination" that fullfill one of two criterias.
1. No match in second query "yq_NonTermination"
2. Match BUT product end date (Produkt slut dato) is greater than the match in "yq_NonTermination".
I have made a left join query on the field "Dublet_Lagervarer". From the join query the goal is to show me only q_Termination.Guid for Katalogposition number 47 and 134008.
How can I do that? Is there another way to do it? Please see attachment.

I have a report with some text boxes on it. Sometimes the text in these boxes can be a very long string of characters (maybe a path to some folder). In this case I do not want the text box to grow.

I have a database where a column holds the links to files inside a folder. I had a macro running all day to get from a .pst file all the emails inside a database.
